BEHIND THE THREADS: Vintage Peacock Takes Flight With New Hues

Vintage Peacock is an S. Harris classic. The repeating embroidered fan motif that beautifully evokes feathers and flight has become a calling card of the brand since its debut.

 

In the design, graduated colors of thread and pile are expertly stitched onto a crisp cotton and linen ground, with an oversized repeat of nearly 15 inches that adds the flair and drama of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. The embroidered threads subtly shift and shimmer as they catch the light.

 

“Vintage Peacock is an ode to refined glamor and understated luxury,” said Jodi Finer, S. Harris Creative Director. “Its grand scale and fine details evoke a sense of regal splendor, while the subdued color stories offer a sophisticated and adaptable foundation for any project.”

 

Vintage Peacock is a celebration of the decadent plumage of high fashion, rendered in muted tones with surprising pops of earthy color. Previously available in Plume and Feather Logic, two new colorways debuted with our East West collectionSmokey Coral and Nimbus—add even more options for designers looking to work with this contemporary-yet-nostalgic design.
